Tell me again why anyone would want to do business in Russia? I talk to a Russian immigrant who says it is like earlier days of the USA when the Mafia was at its peak. Between terrorism and Putin I would expect quite a high risk premium for Russian investments.

Frank, You rang! Just arrived in Tokyo after spending the last 3 days in Shanghai. Staying near the Shinagawa station and have a room looking north across downtown Tokyo. It looks like some of building cranes from Shanghai and Beijing (China's National Bird) are now in Tokyo. I count over 30 from my room. What ever slow down in building occuring in Shanghai (BTW, I didn't see any slow down) is being picked up in Tokyo. The economies in Asia are perking right along. It's pure BS when anyone discusses China slowing down. Let's see, 15% growth "slows" to only 8% - 10% - oh my Michael
